Working on training poll workers and watchers
Conservative advocacy organization FreedomWorks estimated about 70 people were packed into their Washington, D.C., headquarters on Tuesday, flown in from across the U.S. to participate in lectures and panels they were told would teach them how to protect the integrity of American elections.
The effort was part of the group’s Election Integrity Initiative, meant to “restore confidence in our elections by advocating for state-level election integrity legislation,” by training conservatives “on election integrity best practices and equipping them to serve as officers of elections and as poll workers and watchers,” according to its
website.
Carol Davis, a FreedomWorks ambassador from Illinois recently named the director of the Election Protection Initiative, hosted a lecture on how conservatives have fought for election security even in a deep blue state. She advised attendees to read their local election laws and call out officials when they aren’t following the written procedure.
If they were doing something good, she said to give them a “carrot” but “if they’re doing something bad we need to beat them with sticks.”
“Metaphorically!” a FreedomWorks employee shouted from the back.
Peter Vicenzi, the organization’s director of communications, told the Daily Caller News Foundation the initiative was not meant to “relitigate 2020,” but rather teach citizens who came to “go back home and be able to be involved in the process,” such as becoming election officers.
